I listened in through their app on my iPhone.<br /><br />Aaron - NASA is studying options for a mission to Uranus or Neptune to be reviewed by the next Decadal Survey. Good launch dates seem to be around 2030, so expect an arrival of any mission around 2040. Sometimes, it sucks how big the solar system is and how long it takes to get a mission through the approval and into the funding pipeline.Van Kanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14227978868817989527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270899075443508100.post-59615309004672300022016-08-31T21:14:57.910-07:002016-08-31T21:14:57.910-07:00Do you know of any missions (even in the planning ...Do you know of any missions (even in the planning stages) that would explore Neptune or Uranus? It seems like these planets have been largely ignored since Voyager 2. I would really love to see a mission to one of those outer planets. Of course it would not be ready for this next New Frontiers selection round but I hope someone is out there planning those missions for the future.

Indeed the medium jovian magnetosphere extend on 20-60 jupiter radious while the external magnetopshere extends to the limits of the magnetopause and in rare occasions up to 100 jovian radius towards the Sun. We deduce that if the jovian magnetosphere was visible naked eye, seen from the Earth, its size would be over 41&#39; or 1.4 times the apparent diameter of the moon, so much smaller than in this drawing.<br />LuxorionLuxorionhttp://www.astrosurf.com/luxorion/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270899075443508100.post-52067056651464181612016-07-05T10:40:12.848-07:002016-07-05T10:40:12.848-07:004,000 confirmed exoplanets similar to Earth In the...4,000 confirmed exoplanets similar to Earth In the past, visual artists have produced infographics to show in the simplest way possible the ever-increasing number of planets and what we know about them.

It presents all confirmed exoplanets with known orbits and temperature until January 2016.

A few of the 7 the we know of, interesting Moons (Europa, Callisto, Ganymede, Enceladus, Titan, Triton), have rock above the aquifer.<br />I&#39;m annoyed the Juno missions didn&#39;t at least look at an Ice Moon. I suppose the Magnetic field of Jupiter is okay science.<br />I&#39;d like to see J.Webb focus on NEOs and all objects within a million miles.

Now I&#39;m thinking not, at least until Earth is safe from WMDs.<br />It is easy enough to use payloads to do things like blot out the Sun, and in a decade or 4, to 3D print robots.<br />So payloads will need to be checked carefully using federal standards. And WMD infrastructures must not be a part of missions. I&#39;ve no idea how to prevent any Dr Evil from leaving GEO at this time, launched from Earth.<br />I like dual use superconductor R+D. It can be used to make cheap MRIs. A RT superconductor could enable an individual in a building to be reliably tracked. And make vaccines cool. It would enable VASIMR.<br />I guess the purpose of my post is that the magnets that enable VASIMR are a very good thing to R+D, but the application of such should be done carefully. Apparently even with 2200 technology, space is still mentally ill. The brain imaging would be paired with quantum encryption of intranets, which is a whole bunch of NASA communications R+D.Alien Contactnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270899075443508100.post-42211092706375779472016-06-07T04:19:26.368-07:002016-06-07T04:19:26.368-07:00Very solid article, I enjoyed reading it.

It is definitely worth noting that, above all else, Red Dragons funded largely by SpaceX have a single purpose, and that is testing tools necessary for the MCT&#39;s and subsequent colony&#39;s success. Red Dragon 1 will be largely a test of supersonic retropropulsion and its efficacy on Mars, while RD2 and beyond will likely be used to test ISRU, ranging from mining methane from a water source to oxygen from the CO2 atmosphere to testing out plant growth in Martian conditions (be that just gravity or some attempt to utilize Martian soil/water). Anything done outside of those pointed efforts will likely be at the whim of NASA and external parties with the wherewithal and desire to fund a generally more affordable and less bespoke planetary exploration vehicle.Eric Ralphhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06988320393657765076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270899075443508100.post-39307554770093161002016-06-02T18:01:41.354-07:002016-06-02T18:01:41.354-07:00I really enjoyed reading your article.

It is difficult to handle WMD threats. Especially in funding future technologies. For AI, a key is not to make diamond semiconductors. Synthetic biology R+D will lead to high pandemic risks starting around 30 years from now if the technology is not defunded. I&#39;ve been told preventing mental illnesses in positions of power would make the Presidential System better than a Parliamentary Democracy if the latter didn&#39;t have such a safeguard. I&#39;ve been told to build and run for the 1st two years, a La Grange point NEO base staffed with 8 astronauts would cost $100B. And I&#39;ve been told &quot;we don&#39;t need robots&quot;.<br />Mars and Lunar G is unhealthy for people. From 2005-2014, I&#39;ve thought the risk of creating AI in a colony on the far-side of a gas giant, outweighs the reward of having a civilization redundancy. And there hasn&#39;t been an economical pathways to such a colony suggested.<br />But NASA has discovered many NEOs. If we tether two small ones together, as small as 10m in diameter each, they can form cheap Space Stations. The purpose would be to learn how to do industrial processes. One would be for industry. One would be like on the ISS but with shielding. Maybe a middle one would dock Orion, I&#39;m not sure how that would work with the tethers. Since a key to avoiding robotic takeover is keep things manned and eventually plateau robot R+D, I don&#39;t see how you can learn how to industrialize a Mars base at all. A Lunar Base is cheaper, but you still can&#39;t leave astronauts there for long. The ISS doesn&#39;t have shielding...I think the world&#39;s space community should rally around the concept of two NEOs towed to a La Grange Point, and rotating around a tether. Because you can control the mental health of astronauts, you can research how to make better politicians and political systems. You can learn how to, for instance, manufacture a RADAR transmitter or a heat shield (you might want to send some metals to earth). As long as you keep astronauts from making AI, it is the future of civilization. There are many positives, but without the Earth G, I think the manned Lunar and Mars colonies fail. And this is the strategy to prevent robot takeovers on Earth: to keep space Manned and saner.Alien Contactnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270899075443508100.post-29765372517699832302016-02-08T09:22:38.985-08:002016-02-08T09:22:38.985-08:00...or...decreasing its mass.

If mass increases, bad...it brings near in its radius minimum (perihelion) it &quot;falls&quot; towards the Sun, because with its major mass also there is a new major Sun gravitational attraction and now it would need major centrifugal force, major speed, for remaining in the same stable orbit (equal angular speed and different linear speed = different centrifugal force, as in Earth poles or equator...equal linear speed and different angular speed = also different centrifugal force, as in &quot;whip&quot; fairground attraction)...and it brings far in its radius maximum (aphelion), it doing a more elliptic new orbit, radius medium decreases... And vice versa: if MASS DECREASES, good...it brings far in its perihelion from Sun, and from Earth, because still conserves speed that it had with the major mass before and at same time decreases the Sun gravitational attraction, it doing a more circular new orbit, radius medium increases.
